FreeDATA

Post by deadite66 »

An attempt to make an opensource VarAC.

still very much work in progress atm and i've yet to make a contact on it yet, appears to be me and someone else in Portugal trying it on CB (27.195)
doesn't help with 11m being poor atm and i only have a 1/4 wave boomerang.

https://freedata.app/

it hasn't been tested on 11m yet would be handy for others to try it.

originally it was on 27.245 so i could monitor js8call at the same time then someone else suggested it be separate so 27.265 was added.
